Dinosaur Island Playground

If your kids are into dinosaurs, this one’s worth the trip. There’s a proper zipline, a volcano climbing structure, tire swing, and merry-go-round — enough to keep a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old both occupied without either getting bored. The wooded setting does a lot of the heavy lifting atmosphere-wise, and the lake nearby makes for a decent post-play walk if you’ve got the energy for it. Parking’s there, which honestly makes the whole thing a lot less stressful.
